About ten years ago, my family lost many of our belongings due to a tragic house fire. When we were trying to replace everything, the insurance company required us to furnish proof we actually owned what we claimed we owned. Whether it was a purchase receipt, the burned item itself, or a photo of the item before the fire. Most people don't document their belongings and when disasters occur, much time is tied up dealing with insurance companies.

This is why I offer a Documentation service. No one should need to go through the hassle our family went through. Reasonably priced, you can choose the coverage and detail you prefer. All packages include four CD/DVD copies, three that you receive, and one that I store in a fire safe for up to five years. Of the three you receive, I recommend you keep only one at your house, perhaps one at work, and one sent to a relative living in another region to hold.
